>There are two ways to use Glade. The first way is to use
Glade's facilities for generating code; the second
way is to use the libglade library which directly loads
the XML user interface description files that Glade
generates into a running program.</P
><P
>Experienced GTK+ programmers generally strongly recommend
using libglade; you don't have to worry about the interaction
between Glade generating the source and you editing it,
and its been shown to be a method that works better
for large projects, so there is a lot of example code
out there you can look at.</P
><P
>An introduction to using libglade can be found in the 
libglade API docs
